The Lenovo Tapes

A little while back, I stumbled upon a website that had some "smuggled" tapes from Lenovo's laboratories in which ThinkPad computers were able to do some interesting things.

Earlier this year some very interesting tapes were handed to me from a long standing acquaintance of mine. The tapes originated at a Lenovo (the Chinese company that recently took over IBM Thinkpad) research facility and appear to feature test footage. When my acquaintance watched the tapes back, he found some footage that he just had to get it out into the public domain. I’ve watched the material myself and I’ve got to agree with him – it’s pretty amazing stuff.

You have to watch the videos, they are pretty well done, and fun to watch. In one video the ThinkPad is able to project a very Star Wars looking hologram from its camera device. In the next, they drop a cup of coffee on a ThinkPad and it reacts to protect itself very much like the Batmobile. In the last movie, you get to see what happens when you drop the special prototype ThinkPad from a decent height.
